Half of business owners on this #Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % for those who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonr…
Here’s a picture of the same exact storefront during a day when Lincoln Ave was opened up for foot traffic. Which do you prefer?

So many people saying it.
@slowstreetsorg I think they'd do just fine - especially with the increase in pedestrian traffic. I love this idea.
Pedestrian crash dummies?

The surprise is at 33 seconds in... The barrier to more livable, affordable, and sustainable cities is right in front of us. We need to heavily restrict cars in many places, and flat out ban their private access in most core areas.

@40thforward It makes total sense to close Lincoln Ave between Lawrence and Leland and create a pedestrian only streetscape.

Yo @ChicagosMayor can we spend a wee bit more time trying to save lives… little secret for you here, slower streets with quality transit increases economic growth for small businesses, reduces crime, and builds community It ticks off a few of the boxes vexing you right now

@Eric_Erins Bring back drunk driving! OR just more public transit and walkable cities.
@Eric_Erins I think a recognition of how bad drinking and driving is, and the shift to being totally car dependent in the late hours even in a city (and always most other places) has helped usher this change in, too

@brnnrks @slowstreetsorg “Kill the remaining retailers”? Lincoln square is nothing but shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, the Davis, a gym. Unless you’re upset there’s been a vet clinic there for 15+ years?
@chapinthecity Why deliveries? I'd say one pedestrian/car lane for emergency vehicles only.
@Blume40th There does exist pretty decent alley access on either side for deliveries.
@Blume40th Easy fix, block Lincoln from Leland to Lawrence from cars. Deliveries only.
The quickest and easiest way to make streets safe is by dropping boulders on them
